Thanks I guess room is an issue and flat uses less. Thanks again

My friend has just bought a 2008 I think it is a CLK convertible. He showed a picture of his spare wheel with the tyre detached from the rim. He took it to a tyre company only for them to tell him that’s how it should be. It seems it has an inner seal and when connected to the on board pump...

Just wondering if there are Mercedes Mechanics in here. On the C220 auto the auto change lever has a fancy Circlip holding the selection rod to the change lever and bush. Just wondering how most choose to refit this? I notice holes for Circlip pliers But they would need to be long ones. On...

Well it’s fixed. I can recommend a company called ECU Testing. Quality work and info. Expensive repair though. if not for Royal Mails terrible service it would have been done 5 days ago. being clever I thought I would refit the clip on the change rod pivot from underneath. Not a good idea on my...

I noticed when I changed my gearbox oil and the kit that there are a few different grades of oil. what would happen if this oil was slightly thinner? could it cause this.

I managed to check the ECU. I assume it’s this the one? Google said so. all terminals and connectors dry. There are strange stains on the back insulation that at first I thought was oil but must have always been there. now just waiting the repair of my gear change thanks Ken

Thanks will update

I have yet to check this but wondered, would oil affect an ECU. Or how would it. I have seen some electrical items that are in oil to keep cool. not disagreeing but wondering how it affects things. I guess some brake cleaner would clean it up. Thanks Ken

Thanks for that. I had been thinking of putting it in May N and letting it centralise or looking for the marks where the bolt heads had been. thanks Ken

Yes not a bad idea.

My gear lever unit is now with the ECU test repair people so I will see what they find. Just out of interest I notice the gear lever box in on elongated holes, I assume for adjustment. what would be the correct method if setting that up? Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. so strange I was touching nothing and leaving a junction and it never changed up. Stopping was a bad move as it would not restart thinking it was in gear. Removing the key and trying again helped. I have the iCar soft reader but it would not find a fault so tried my old...

I changed the transmission oil and a new strainer about 25000 miles ago At 150000 miles. I am hoping I have it correct with electrical as my Mates E Class had the same fault and code a few months ago Snd it was this sensor inside of the change lever box. One strange thing is when you look online...

Thank you Ian yes I found the small button that releases the lever but although free the Starter will not work as it thinks it’s in gear And the gear indicator light it blank. I got a code when tested saying P0705 Transmission range sensor. It appears to be common on this version of Mercedes...

Is the gear change lever assy Coded and programmed to the vehicle? So if I buy used it won’t work unless coded? Thanks

Could someone clarify what’s happening here Please. Driving along and came to a junction, when accelerating away the car is stuck in a very low gear. It said D but more like 1st. When I got to a quiet part of the road I stopped it but the gears were locked and I was not able to restart It. So...

They don’t seem very expensive so may give it a try.

What part does the external heater sensor play in controlling the heating syste. Although my car gets to normal running temp the heater does not feel like it’s working yo it’s full capacity. The external temp whenever I check it always seems to be +6 or very close. I was wondering if this...

Thank you found what I needed

I just changed my strut and as my old clamps would not compress the spring enough I let a local garage do that part on their hydraulic machine. My question is does the special nut under the top clamp preload the bearing or does it just go tight? I turned it until I felt resistance but want to...
